As the traditional philosophies of yesteryear
decline and fade, we have come more and more to
put our faith in personal dogmas and beliefs.
Most of us no longer share the same fears and dreams
of what may lie beyond death. It is no longer our
gods or religious doctrines that send us to
eternal damnation. That responsibility is now ours
and ours alone. Purgatory is a place created by our
own minds. If we believe we are guilty, if we
believe that we have sinned, then our fate is
sealed. There are beings, servitors of the
Qlippoths, that sense our guilt. They are the
Nepharites, and their purpose is to create a place
in Inferno to punish us when we pass beyond death.
Our own personal hell, where the sinner will
spend eternity in torment.
